The spoiler on my tailgate has always been a bit loose and it finally fell off yesterday

I was at my dad's when it happened and he came up with a pretty good suggestion - leave it off. I wasn't sure at first, but after driving home without the spoiler I'm inclined to agree with him. I don't think it really suits the lines of the car, rear visibility is much improved, and I'll be able to change the rear wiper!

I doubt that it had any real aerodynamic effect - I certainly couldn't feel any difference blatting home down the motorway last night.

The area where it bolts on is a bit of a mess but Dad's pretty handy with filler and paint so we're going to give it a go. The glue and general mank needs sanding off, then there are the screw holes to fill (currently covered up with Duck tape) and some painting and making good.

Not sure WHEN we're going to get round to it as I'm moving house in a couple of weeks so I'm pretty busy at the moment but I'll let you know how it went!

Whether or not there is an effect from it personally I like the appearance and gives my BX that distinct look! But the spoiler seems to have the effect of keeping the rear screen rain free by diverting air across the screen at anything above dawdling speeds - will be interesting to have feedback from non-spoiler owners.
